Firstly introduced in 2010 at the MIT Francis Bitter Magnet Laboratory, the so-called “no-Insulation (NI)” winding technique has been regarded as a “game changer” in high temperature superconductor (HTS) magnet technology, as it enables an NI HTS magnet to be highly compact and affordable, yet reliable to a level that has never been achieved with conventional systems. Significant progress in...
In the past five years, seven short models of the inner triplet quadrupole for the High Luminosity LHC, based on Nb3Sn conductor, have been built and tested, reaching conductor peak fields above 13 T. In this talk we will review the main features of this program, outlining the scope of the program, the different variants manufactured, and the test results. Special emphasis will be given to...
